![]() It’s such a rich site for things to deteriorate, assimilate, or to become consumable. I think all images or objects have the potential to become symbols in this way. SI Yes, although a different one-more like the Weber but also an hourglass. HM A barbecue sculpture made it into your show! This got tacked onto the original barbecue experience. It was in a super unusual color-something between purple and blue. And later, I saw a Weber barbecue grill that my mom had at her place in Rio de Janeiro. This image really stuck with me-all these things happening at the same time inspired me to use the barbecue as a symbol for a sculpture. Putting aside the moral complexity of the situation, there was a whole caiman being barbecued over a fire, which we ate. We took a very touristy excursion into the jungle where we dined with a group of indigenous people. I had just gotten my period for the first time, which terrified me. For example, a month before my thirteenth birthday, I went on a trip to the Amazon with my mother and sister.

When I’m working on a piece, I try to strike a balance between it being able to be read as either an image or an object. The feeling of permanence is great because it has the confidence and material strength to convince that these separate elements came into existence together and belong together. Casting is not so much about the embedding of objects to create a fossil but about controlling a composition and forcing the material to make room for-and to acknowledge-another object or material, and vice versa. It’s also the ultimate form of adhesion I’m always looking for ways to glue things together, both physically and symbolically. You’ve orchestrated a recipe with as much specificity as possible, but then it’s time to trust the rest and let it do its thing. Sacha Ingber The moment of casting is a way of letting go, like when a cake is in the oven. ![]() What’s the significance of this act of merging to you? It’s also a way to bring together made and sourced things to create something that feels as if it came into existence as a singular entity.

She generously agreed to talk about some of the ideas and processes behind her current solo show, The Word-Killer, at Brennan & Griffin. I so enjoyed talking to her that day that I later asked if she would be up for an interview. ![]() She was a resident at the Sharpe-Walentas studio program in Brooklyn, and I attended an open studio event.

The webs of relationships generated through her use of materials and implicit and explicit narratives exude warmth and intelligence, not unlike the artist herself. The fire's cause is under active investigation.Sacha Ingber is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work moves between image, object, and sensation. The Mayor's Crisis Response Team has been summoned to the scene, and LAFD Public Information Officer Captain Adam VanGerpen remains on site to assist the media.
